The Cleveland Browns are, in a way, the most incredible franchise in sports. It is almost stunning how Cleveland has managed to carve out a permanent spot at or near the bottom of the NFL on an annual basis, an instance that again happened this year when the Browns went 0-16.
This gave Cleveland the No. 1 pick in the 2018 NFL Draft. Combine that with the fact that the Browns also have the No. 4 pick in the draft due to a trade with the Houston Texans, and this past week’s NFL Combine in Indianapolis was of massive importance for the organization, as it looked to find the two players who will ostensibly be building blocks for the franchise moving forward.
It was also, apparently, a big event for the team’s coaches. Not their current coaches, mind you, but for the guys who used to call the Browns their employer. That’s because a group of ex-Cleveland coaches got together to have a party at a restaurant in Indianapolis.
Best story I heard from NFL combine: A small group of former Browns coaches held a fired Browns coaches party at a local restaurant in Indianapolis.

So this is kind of funny, although since we don’t know exactly how far-ranging this goes, it’s not as hilarious as it could be. That was the case until we learned the name of the restaurant where these coaches met up, because once that became public, this became the funniest thing in sports today.
And it was at – no joke a Rock Bottom…. https://t.co/aB8d2bKncR

These coaches deserve a ton of credit, because while being a Browns coach could be tough, they didn’t let it ruin their sense of irony.
